SatSchool is run by a volunteer committee - come along to our online AGM on 23rd October at 1pm, to find out more and/or become part of the team! We meet every 2 weeks to develop our EO-based outreach resources and engage with communities🚀 Sign up here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/satschool…

The sun goes burp and the atmosphere turns red. Spectacular not only from Earth but from orbit as well. This event caught both @dominickmatthew and I off guard. Aurora had been just so-so; we were out of energy at the end of a long day and reluctant to once again set up our cameras up for yet another “No Show”. We were just heading to some much needed sleep when we made the mistake of peeking out the Cupola windows.  Stunning was the word. It looked like @Space_Station had been shrunk to some miniature dimension and inserted into a neon sign. We were not flying 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦 the aurora; we were flying 𝘪𝘯 the aurora. And it was blood red. Caught off guard, we hastily set up our cameras, four of them, all snapping shutters as fast as they could, creating a syncopated rhythm that accented Nature’s artistic display presented before us. Here is one of the shots. Nikon Z9, Nikon 24mm f1.4 lens, 1/5 second, f1.4, ISO 3200, adjusted in Photoshop (noise reduction, color, contrast).

📢⚠️EO Ambassador Induction this Wednesday, 1pm! Join our hybrid event Online and in-person in Edinburgh to find out more about how you could help the next generation get interested in Earth Observation 🛰️✨🤩

And here's a close up! In the wide image you can see a yellow 'line' in the clouds in the top left quadrant: that's Sentinel-2C🛰️

Find Waldo... or better, find Sentinel-2C! Recently, the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2 B satellite snapped this image while the Sentinel-2C unit was flying underneath. Can you spot the satellite in this sea of clouds? We will publish a zoomed-in version soon😉

Become an EO Ambassador this year! Join our hybrid induction on Wednesday 16th October at 1pm to find out more information about SatSchool, our ready-made resources, and what it means to be an EO Ambassador. Sign-up here🚀: eventbrite.co.uk/e/satschool…

The Beaufort Scale method measures wind speed by observing its impact on the sea surface. Learn different observation measuring techniques with @SatSchool_'s Earth Observation Resource Collection. #OER @GeosciencesEd #WorldBeaufortScaleDay #ScienceEd open.ed.ac.uk/satschool-eart…

Some excellent examples of #scicomm from @SatSchool_ & resources for schools (& science centres)! Earth observation from the classroom. @DA_RegionalSTEM @ScotSTEMAmb @EducationScot @DundeeSciCentre

We had a great time at Dynamic Earth's Careers in STEM event for high school pupils last week - read all about it here: satschool-outreach.github.io… #STEM #satellite #earthobservation

Happy International Women's Day! 🎉 Women have played a key role in space discovery, and in turn Earth Observation! SatSchool's resources bring satellites to the classroom, to inspire our next gen of women #IWD2024 #InternationalWomensDay2024 #InternationalWomensDay2024 #STEM

Today we're at the STEM careers event at Edinburgh's Dynamic Earth @ourdynamicearth 🌍Why not come down and try out our interactive satellite games! #earthobservation #STEM #dyanmicearth #satellites #environmentalscience

Looking to have more impact in 2024? Join SatSchool's Earth Observation Ambassador Network and become part of our UK-wide group, bringing the power of satellites to the classroom! 🛰️satschool-outreach.github.io…
